We will never know but I do know MJ was surrounded with more talent than LeBron’s best teams and no star has ever carried a squad this horrible. MJ is the greatest but LeBron is inching closer considering all factors.

Wade and Bosh and Kyrie and KLove brought at least close to what Pip and Rodman did and arguably more than Pip and Ho Grant.

Not to take away what Lebron’s doing, but prior to this run, there’s always been that extra little something missing that MJ had. Call it a timeliness or other urgency, but Lebron shrank in the moment where MJ shined. This year, with this bunch that narrative is changing.

If he really wanted to be more competitive, he shouldn’t have railroaded the team into the horrific contracts he made them sign to his agency’s clientele.

Well, we will never know for sure, that is true…was just asking for your opinion, NBA…Lebron is def one of the best of all time but you gotta look at the competition he has faced in the playoffs this time around…it is hardly a given that MJ couldnt have beaten the Pacers/Raps/Celts with Lebron’s current supporting cast..

I will be pullin’ for the Dubs just like I’m pullin’ for Newt to live for another 100 yrs…

When the Lakers aren’t competing, I usually root for a good story..a Cavs-Rockets finals would have yielded one regardless of the winner…but godamned CP3 had to get injured, G…it’s like clockwork..without him, hopes aren’t high for the outcome I prefer..I am not a Rockets fan, by any stretch, but I hate ’em a lot less than I do the Warriors.

Things that deep in the recesses of my mind really aren’t any of my business, G…diving in could be dangerous for you as well…I mean, I might be a serial killer waiting to be triggered and not know it :)

Did LeBron ever score 81 pts?
Did LeBron ever light up MJ for 55 pts?
Did LeBron ever score 61 pts in MSG?
Did LeBron ever drop 65 on the Trail Blazers?
Did LeBron ever outscore the whole opposing team through 3 qtrs?
Did LeBron ever knock down 12 3pters in a game?

That is true and I really hope the Rockets win Game 7, Tate…my low expectations stem from the fact that , while the Cavs did win without Love, the Warriors are better than the Celtics and , if CP3 is out & the rest of the team plays like they did in Game 6, I don’t trust Harden as much to bring ’em home like Lebron ( or Kobe )…perhaps because of his awful performance in an elimination game against the Spurs last yr…we’ll see, he’s certainly capable of putting the team on his back..

But I’m talkin’ about TAKING AND MAKING the game-winning shot … betcha MJ probably and definitely Kobe woulda taken that shot in that same situation. Not sure Bron wanted to take that shot under THAT kinda pressure. That’s all I’m sayin’. Like therealhtj had mentioned earlier, Bron has shrunk in more than a few of those ‘moments’ compared to MJ or Mamba.

LeBron is unbelievable. The worst supporting cast to ever make the Finals. Kudos to LeBron. It’s an argument that can never be resolved but LBJ is making a strong case that he is the GOAT but is it really a strong case considering whom he beat. The Pacers, Raptors, and then undermanned Celtics?

Of course, beating a team without its two superstars doesn’t really qualify as a world shaking event everyone is making it out to be. The truth will be reveled when he loses to whichever team comes out of the West. I’ll give him one miracle game in Cleveland before he falls in five games.

That will be the series that tells LeBron that he has to stay in the East if he wants a chance to win. Morey may not want to tear up the Rockets after their great effort against the Dubs. 76ers aren’t going to want to take the ball out of Simmons hands.

Which leaves the Cavs. Time for LeBron to be a man and sign his supermax team and stop being such a freakin’ mercenary who thinks the entire league revolves around him. I want to root for a team. Not some quasi-basketball god who thinks he is bigger than any franchise.

For the greatest individual efforts didn’t didn’t end in a championship. For me carrying the Lakers to the playoffs in 2006 and 2007 was the greatest feat of all time. The Lakers started Smush, Kwame, Luke and Lamar. The biggest heartbreak for me was game 6 2006. Lakers up 3-2 when Nash throws up a total brick and it bounces out to Thomas who hits a 3 to send the game to over time. If Steve does what he normally did and make the shot we win. If it rolls around the rim and falls off we win. It took a terrible shot to beat us.

But as big as Kobe was in 2006 he was even bigger in 2007. The Lakers were injury riddled that year. Kobe put the team on his back and averaged 40 for March. Including a 4 game stretch of 65, 60, and two 50 point games. His 50 plus streak ended when he only had 43 the next game. I remember being ticket off at him because he cost us a lottery pick LOL. The sad thing for me is because we were not a good team he didn’t win the MVP either year when he was clearly the best in the world.
